EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking photograph, taken in the heart of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada, a cow elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) is seen grazing peacefully with her twin calves. The Rocky Mountain elk, also known as the wapiti, is the largest species of elk found in North America, and this image showcases their impressive size and strength. The Canadian Rockies, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provide a picturesque backdrop to this scene. The rugged mountains, towering evergreens, and crystal-clear waters create an idyllic setting for these animals to thrive. The survival of elk calves in their first year of life is crucial for their overall population growth. Born in the late spring or early summer, the twins in this photograph are just a few weeks old. Their mother's protective instincts are on full display as she keeps a watchful eye over them, ensuring their safety from predators. This image captures the delicate balance of nature in the Canadian Rockies. The elk's ability to adapt and survive in this harsh environment is a testament to their resilience and strength. The photograph also highlights the importance of preserving these habitats to ensure the continued survival of these magnificent animals and their offspring. Ken Archer, a renowned nature photographer, expertly captured this intimate moment between a mother and her newborn calves. Danita Delimont, a leading stock photography agency, represents his work, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
